Anyone Fitted A Window Regulator,weird Problem....

[Robbocop33]

This is really off,fitted a used regulator to my right rear door of my c5 mk1 estate.Part number matched to unit i took off.

Fitting went smoothly but things went a bit odd when operating the rear window,when i press the button to put window down it stops with about 4 inches to go,(white plastic glass holder right down to door frame bottom),then when i put window up it goes right up smoothly but returns back down again about 4 inches and stops,acts like a window would do when it has a pinch facility(stops if your heads sticking out the window!)when it reaches the top.

This put me in a blind panic as heavy rain was due,i had to simultaneously put up rear window from the front door,then pull the multiplug at the rear when the rear window reached the top!Which was fun! ;-)Anyone experienced this?

Maybe it is the anti pinch that needs resetting. Try taking the window down and then take it up by holding the switch on until the window reaches the top and continue holding for a few seconds. If the battery is ever disconnected this needs doing for all the windows. If you do need to disconnect the battery follow the procedure in the Common Problems topic to avoid possible odd electrical problems by doing it too quickly so the bsi does not have time to shut down and start up.

16. Odd electrical problems caused by wrong battery disconnection procedure.

If you need to disconnect the battery and not do a BSI reset procedure, I have found the following has not given me any problems on a 2004 and 2007 C5 and a 2003 C3:

- remove the ignition key from the car

- open the bonnet

- wait a few minutes for the BSI to shut down

- disconnect the battery negative terminal

 

When reconnecting

- ignition key out of the car

- reconnect the battery

- wait a few minutes

- insert the key in the ignition and wait a minute

- turn the key to the first position and wait a minute

- turn the key so the dash lights come on and wait a minute

- start the engine

- take the windows down and up to reset the anti pinch

- reset the clock (and radio on the C3).

 

This is also from the Common problems topic:

18. Front window anti pinch stops it closing (comes back down a few inches).

Check the bottom rubber seal on the window as these start to corrode and apply pressure on to the runner. However, thanks go to Bobster for the following fix on a passenger window 2003 2.2 hdi sx hatchback.

Window fault is cured.

A general search on the internet found Vauxhall and Saab owners had the same fault. The cure was to put the key in the ignition, remove the fuse to the passenger door then the fuse to the driver's door console, then replace both fuses and the problem was cured.

 

So, I put the ignition key in and turned it to accessories, then I removed fuse 4 from the passenger glove compartment and checked the passenger window switch which was dead, removed fuse 9 and checked the driver's door switches which were also dead. I then replaced both fuses, pressed the passenger window button to 'raise' and the window moved to the top and stayed there! I tried lowering and raising the passenger window using both passenger and door switches and all worked perfectly, job done!

 

This fix also worked for Mike Lane whose window would only go up in increments and after cleaning the switch which did not help, this fix was successfully used. See here http://www.citroen-o...ectric-windows/

Thanks for that,internet being the internet google had my head full of potential answers,so i used a mixture of them all.

All i did was switch car on,window down,hold button down for 10 seconds,put window up and once fully up held it again for 10 seconds,had to do this three or four times and it's fine now!Thanks!
